ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a modular computer component that inserts into a computer housing. Upon insertion, the component automatically interconnects with a computer in communication with the housing, and the component automatically latches in place relative to the housing. The component can be single-handedly, contemporaneously unlatched from the computer housing, disconnected from a computer in communication with the computer housing, and removed from the computer housing. A latch body secures to the component, and a light conduit conducts light through a portion of the latch body. The mechanism for unlatching the component assumes a standard position relative to the latch body independent of the bias force exerted by the means for latching the component.
